North America | Canada has vast cropping----the praries ( manitoba, saskatchewan, alberta) are big cereal and pulse crop areas where as eastern canada ( southern and eastern ontario, southern quebec, etc.) are more like the US corn belt---lots of soys and corn, lots of heat, very humid, sometimes it rains too much (NOT THIS YEAR). I am from southern ontario and around our farm the major crops are corn, soys, lots of edible beans, table beans (green and yellow) table peas, sweet corn. Wheat is pretty scarce as it just doesn't have the returns to pay for the 200 dollar rent that seems to be out of control. Although this year straw is short for the livestock guys and I was told they were paying 3 cents a pound in the field. | |
